Bought this, need to see when I can build him.
Oh, ours has done the same thing. Don't know why I never thought to look at replacing it. Easy swap?
Yep just a case of using dental floss to saw through the old glue and it lifts right off.
Wipe the bonnet clean with some ipa to remove any glue residue and the new one goes straight on, and you can't get it wrong as there are two locating pins on the back that go into corresponding holes on the bonnet.
Only thing to be aware are there are 2 part numbers that differ by a single digit which I think is pre/post LCI which have slightly different locating pins. If in doubt (like I was) take the old one off first and check the part number on the back.
Perfect thanks for the tips!

Headphone DAC allowing me to ditch the soundcard to free up airflow for the 5090, whilst also allowing me to connect the TV and PS5 to my Arias. Cable management to follow once the 5090 is in.

My mate used to work for them!
Got back from first session earlier. Lots of fun!
The little things always make a massive difference to the looks. The wheel caps on our Mini had gone like that as well and looked so much better when I swapped them.New badge for the car - £41!

Snazzy new bits for the car so it can make cool noises 
I've got one of their DV+ valves sat in front of me. When I fitted it, it threw a CEL and went into limp every time I booted it. Just couldn't get it to work despite them saying there was nothing wrong with it.Snazzy new bits for the car so it can make cool noises

Busy morning!
Some DVs have a recirculating style function where, when it blows off, the air is captured and recycled. If you replace these with a "dump to atmos" style valve (air is released to the atmosphere to give the "pshht" noise that all chavs love) then the ECU thinks there is an issue as its expecting x amount of air and gets none.
It was one of their diverter valves not the dump valves so should have been a drop in replacement just with stronger parts than the stock plastic one, it even reused the original solenoid to move the piston. No amount of oiling/not oiling the piston, changing the springs or reseating made it work.

New mobile. 
Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. I've switched from a Galaxy A54 which is now 2 years old. Cracking phone for the price, I've been using it for about 2 hours now and can't fault it. Quick and responsive and lovely screen. Puts the Samsung to shame actually. Phone is light and thin to hold and the textured back makes it nice and grippy to hold. I think due to the price I'm not going to bother bulking it out with a phone case. The edge lighting is nice for awareness of notifications. Haven't delved into the AI side of things yet.
